Capítulo 13: Combat Class
After a week the class started. I bade good bye to Elina, wishing her a smooth travel. She might be strong but it would still be annoying for her if someone was to fight her. She was well-known throughout Aelvaard, be it Vaphuin or Gomuan.
The guy I met on that day still bothered me. Liam, he said that was his name. It was strange like he was sure that we would cross again. There were a lot of new students. There were three teachers each class. I was assigned to be a Red rank mid level (D) so I wouldn't be so sure that we would meet again. He was strong I was so sure of it. Even if I was from Earth, I wouldn't want to fight him. He's as strong as Elina or stronger than her. How could a human from Aelvaard was that strong? It was a question I couldn't find an answer. If I was really the last Earthian and only one could be here then I was the only one who would summon here so he was from Aelvaard.
After a week, I got used living on the academy. I haven't seen Velker, he might not passed the exam. Elina told me that green levels weren't accepted here. Even if they were stagnant type they should have at least blue rank. If Velker was really a blue rank I would have seen him. Blue and Red were one class, White and Black have their own class. It was the class of the elites.
I got my own room but others didn't. It also rose the hostility of other towards me. "It couldn't be helped. This was a matter of strong and weak. They are weak, you are strong. Even if you are weak, if someone recommended you then you would be given a high priority. This world is like Earth. There's no balance between weak and strong, rich and poor." Elina said.
That was the reason why I was looking for Velker. He would understand me because he was also recommended by his father. I had my first class in the morning. It was about Melee Combat. Elina dropped my uniform after a day had passed after the ranking test. I was given a red uniform with one star on the left side. It was like a military uniform and also the promotion with stars, at least in the movies from Earth. I entered the room which was assigned on me. I was shocked the room was big like a football field but what really shocked me were there were different colors here.
"Welcome, you must be Rain. Come here." a white haired man that was braided said gestured to me to come forward. I complied and walked to where he was. I stood beside the teacher. "I am Clint Rosterfort, as you can see I will be handling you starting today. Rain, please introduce yourself."
I looked at everyone and spotted a face I was not expecting at all, there he was smirking at me like he knew from the start that we would meet again, Liam. I also saw a familiar face beside him waving at me and smiling, Velker Mc Garden. So, he was his friend. Velker might be the one who mentioned me to Liam. It was a possibility. I had to be wary of Liam. Velker might be strong but I could easily defeat him but with Liam, it would be impossible… at least for now.
"My name is Rain, I am red rank mid level. I'd like to be one of the top 100 Orders. If I am to be placed in a group I could be counted as a Support and Damager." I said looking at every student in the class. There were a few people here, twenty one students to be exact including me. I looked at our teacher Clint and he nodded.
"You may join them. As I was saying before Rain entered the room. You have to choose your role. The roles were divided into five. The roles are Fighter, Magician, Rogue, Ranger, and Support. The main role of the fighter will be taking most of the damages and protecting the back. The magician will be the main damager of the team. The rogue will serve as a joker of the team. The ranger will be the second damager of the team. Support will provide necessary actions that will enable the party to survive."
Someone raised their hand, it was a girl with long white hair that looked silver "How do we know where will be put or which role best suited us?"
"That was a good question. Now, we only have a short time to familiarize with each other but as the day progresses the role of each one of you will be determined soon. You might have an idea of your role but believe me, you should forget it and focus on improving yourself. Every three months you will have an test that would determine if you shall stay with us or not." Clint ended his speech with a smile. It was a weird smile coming from a handsome man. He clapped twice to get our attention "Today, I will show you how a team should be. The names I will call please come forward. Velker, Rain, Ytra, Cora, Damien. Velker as a Fighter, Rain as a Ranger, Damien as a Rogue, Ytra as a Magician, and Cora as a support. You will battle with me. I will give you ten minutes to familiarize yourself with each other."
After Clint told us that we would fight him, we discussed to ourselves what we could do to win against Clint without any casualties. We soon came up an answer that it would be impossible.
"Clint Rosterfort, no one knew why he suddenly took an interest to teach but rumor has it that Justice would also recruit new students that why he is here. He is one of the top 20 Orders. He was placed on the 11th seat. He could probably predict our move. It has something to do with his ability and he was also a good fighter. We should try to synchronize our moves so we could support each other." Ytra said. She was the girl who asked Clint a question.
We agreed on Ytra's suggestion. We positioned our selves not too far but not too close to each other. Clint nodded at us giving us approval. "Very Good. I like your formation. Class, look very closely at their position. The position was called two-three-man. Two at the front and three at the back. It was one of the basic formation. It was also called the semi-defensive formation. Now I'll begin the demonstration on how to break their formation." Clint said before he moved in front of us.
It only took a second for our formation to be in a disarray. Velker and I tried to stop Clint but it was futile. "Lesson number 1: Never let your eyes wander. Focus on every movement of your enemies." He moved directly at Ytra. Ytra tried to cast a spell but before she could use a simple spell she was kicked on the abdomen and shot out on the wall. It was a direct hit. "Lesson number 2: Always protect your magician. Never position your magician at a side." Clint moved his glasses then moved again, before we could move towards him, he was already at his next target. Predicting his moves, Velker and I looked at each other, we nodded at the same time and abandoned our rogue. We went on our support to protect her. Clint just punched Damien on the face before looking at us. "Lesson number 3: Always take the rogue away if you have a chance. They would serve as a deciding factor of a longer battle."
"Power Up! Produce and Transform!" I summoned a shield on my left hand and a gun on my right. I would serve as a support of Velker. I would defend and attack at the same time. "Get ready." We said at the same time before Clint made his move. He attacked Velker directly but with my support as a ranger Clint couldn't land an attack on Velker. Clint kept attacking Velker but Velker could only dodge. He couldn't counter attack because one wrong move and he would be flying. Clint moved back "Lesson number 4: Prolonged fight with a team could led to a fatal mistake. Retreat if necessary and look for a weakness." He was fighting us while giving us pointers. He wasn't even sweating and we haven't landed an attack. Every time I fired my gun to Clint he would dodge it with ease while still attacking Velker. "Now, for the final lesson, take out their support then the fighter and ranger could be easily dealt with." After he said that he vanished on thin air and appeared in front of me. I tried to raise the shield but he only jumped on me and attacked our support. Without a doubt we were easily crushed by Clint. "And that's the lesson." He didn't have hurt Cora because she has the weakest defense and agility. He would really hurt Cora if he attacked her so he only put his hand on Cora's shoulder declaring that he seized our support.
Velker and I admitted defeat. We couldn't possibly defeat him on a 2 on 1 battle. Even if I and Velker used our strength together we could only land a few hits before we would be defeated.
"I will announce 5 teams. Team 1: Velker, Ytra, Rain, Damien, Cora. Team 2: Ryan, Misha, Faina, Kyle, Veera. Team 3: King, Lance, Flick, Aru, Janice. Team 4: Gelberg, Tina, Nera, Shane, Wayde. Team 5: Liam, Sahara, Jan, Zigz, Olivia. Velker and Rain, good job on abandoning a rogue that could escape rather than a support that couldn't defend her own. Remember class, if you know the strength of your team this wouldn't happened. Tomorrow you'll start training as a team. This team composition would be your team. I hope to see all of you on the field someday. Class dismissed." Clint said and left the room. Our team composition wasn't bad and after all we all participated the class today. Ytra would also serve as a good teammate. She knew a lot of things and she also knew how to apply them. Ytra and I looked at each other and nodded. We only have a little time to talk before my 2nd classh start so I have to make it quick.
"Let's do our best to be the top team." I said and looked each one of them. They all nodded, fire burning in their eyes. A laugh was heard at our back. We faced the guy who laughed and saw Liam looking at us.
"I'm sorry but my team will be the first."
